Biography

Forrest Amos Coburn was born in Lowell, Massachusetts. He moved to Cleveland's West Side with his parents at the age of fourteen. He worked as a bookkeeper for the firm of Woods, Perry and Company lumber dealers after high school. He developed a talent for architecture while working for that firm. From 1868 to 1871 he worked for architect Joseph Ireland, then in the office of architect Walter Blythe. He then went to New York to complete his study of architecture where he worked in the office of Richard Morris Hunt. He returned to Cleveland in 1877 and went into partnership with Frank S. Barnum in 1878. They were a very successful firm; the vast majority of their work was residential. They were also the architects of several churches in Cleveland and surrounding communities, including a large number of Congregational Churches. These included the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church at 9606 Euclid Avenue (1887), the Franklin Avenue Congregational Church at 5720 Franklin Boulevard (1883), and the Olivet Baptist Church, as well as several buildings for Case Tech and Western Reserve University, and commercial buildings. He was secretary of the Civil Engineer's club and a member of the veteran's society of Troop A. His death was brought on by over work. He was sick the last four months of his life. At the time of his death he lived at 6016 Franklin.

Biography

Coburn and Barnum was one of the most important architectural firms in late 19th century in Cleveland. They designed over twenty houses along Euclid Avenue's Millionaires Row, several buildings for Case Institute of Technology, Western Reserve University, and Oberlin College, and large commercial buildings including the Blackstone Power Block. They designed several churches including the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, the Franklin Avenue Congregational Church, the Olivet Baptist Church, and Trinity Baptist Church. Beyond Cleveland they had commissions in Oberlin, Delaware, and Ashland, Ohio, and Palm Beach, Florida. The office staff included Benjamin Hubbell, W. Dominck Benes, John Edelmann, Albert Skeel, Frank Hall, and Herbert Briggs. The firm would become Coburn, Barnum and Benes, when W. Dominick Benes was made partner, and became Coburn, Barnum, Benes, and Hubbell when Benjamin Hubbell became a partner. The firm dissolved when Forrest Coburn died in 1897. Several of the firm's architectural plans can be found at the Western Reserve Historical Society Library.
